Aerial cableway having a movement take up module

An overhead cable transport installation comprising:

• a continuous aerial cable, a load supporting detachable grip adapted to be coupled to and decoupled from said cable at a station, a transfer rail provided at the station, a girder extending along the transfer rail, friction sheaves successively arranged along the transfer rail and having spindles rotatably mounted on said girder, a drive plate rigidly secured to said grip and cooperating with said friction sheaves to propel the grip along the transfer rail, belt drive means having belts and pulleys amounted on the friction sheave spindles for drivingly interconnecting the successive friction sheaves, a cable support sheave for supporting said cable and having a spindle with a belt pulley mounted thereon, a movement take up module comprising one of said friction sheaves, a drive pulley drivingly connected to said belt pulley of the cable support sheave, and a cog-wheel transmission between said drive pulley and said one friction sheave to invert the direction of rotation of said friction sheave with respect to the drive pulley, said drive pulley and said cog-wheel transmission being supported by said girder.
